Quick, quick, you're late | for your lessons.

Oh, Madiba, my filmmaker.

Come in, come in. | Sit down.

I've seen your tapes.

Very good work.

- Here's my tape. | - Oh, another one.

Good. I know | a good editor for you.

- Will you stop, okay? | - Will you stop, okay?

Are you sure | this is the right place?

Yeah.

How do you know?

I know.

Where is she?

Do you see her?

I've got her.

- Are you serious? | - There she is.

Are you serious?

He wasn't joking.

Tshu, boys.

Hello, Sipho!

- Hello. | - How is it, man?

Hey, man.

How are you?

Where have you been, bro?

I've been all over, | everywhere.

I want to introduce you | to my friends.

Boys!

This is my boy, Madiba

and this is Louise

and this is Benny my boy.

Film me, man.

On me, me.

Hey, old man.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no. | What is he doing?

Oh, my gosh, Sipho. | What did you just do?

No sweat.

Boys--

Look at this.

Gotcha!

Why you have it | on your nose, bro?

Baby,

I want you | to take this money.

Go buy yourself | some nice clothes.

Thank you, Sipho.

Hey, girl.

But when are you | coming home?

See, me and these guys--

we've got a nice home here.

That's for you, Bennie.

Show Boy-- | That's for you.

It's for you, man.

How did you find me?

I was looking for Estelle.

Look, you can | see her all you want.

But she's mine now.

Watch.

- Hey. | - Hello, how are you?

I'm cool.

- Come sit down. | - Yeah.

Do you know where Madiba is?

I was supposed | to meet him here.

He's hiding by the tree.

- Hiding? | - Yeah.

- I'll come see you again, okay? | - Bye.

Estelle, I like | your braids, man,

and the nose ring.

Bye.

Come on. | Let's go meet him.

No, I don't want to.

Sarah, you said | you'd meet him.

I'm going home.

- Why? | - Because.

You know what? | Fine, go home.

Come here!

Fine, I'll come to you.

Sipho says you see him | now and again.

I like Sipho.

He's cool.

Why do you steal books?

Doesn't your father | give you any money?

It's not about the money.

Can I have a look?

Oh, come on, please!

If you stop seeing Sipho,

then maybe I'll show you.

Why did you pierce your nose?

'Cause I like it.

And it drives my parents crazy.

Why?

They're too squared.

They just never grew up.

Grow up? | Your parents?

Do you like my nose ring?

It's township.

All the snazzy girls | are doing it.

But you don't like it?

No... I like it.

I like it a lot.

It's open.

Listen.

Doug phoned me today.

He said Sarah | told him that--

She saw you hanging around | with some black kids.

I see them | on the beach, Dad.
